A thriving support and development community has grown up around Open ERP, providing free technical support, bugfixing, new development, and support services. Open ERP provides extensive documentation in various electronic formats, as well as hardcopy. The company responsible for development of Open ERP earns profits through partnership services with Open ERP consultants, and by providing support, training, hosting services, software development, and software quality testing and verification.

+

Install the {{aur|odoo}} package. Please note that the Odoo package comes with a bunch of python2 packages available in the [[AUR]]. These dependencies and the size of Odoo require much disk space to be used (1.8Gio only for the source and the final Odoo pkg without its dependencies). If you are building manually in the current directory, please make sure your current directory is on a device with enough free space. If you are using an [[AUR helper]], please [[Tmpfs#Examples|increase the size of your tmpfs]] or configure your AUR helper accordingly.

=Before Installing Open ERP=

+

=== Configuring PostgreSQL to run with Odoo ===

−

===Installing PostgreSQL===

+

Odoo uses PostgreSQL as the database backend. The latter should have been installed with the odoo package as {{pkg|postgresql}} comes as a dependency.

−

Open ERP uses the PostgreSQL database, which should be installed and configured before installing Open ERP. Follow [[PostgreSQL#Installing PostgreSQL]]. Complete these installation instructions, but do '''not''' perform any other configuration from that page. Return to this page for additional configuration steps.

+

It is necessary to create a new PostgreSQL user for Odoo. For that log in as the default PostgreSQL superuser, 'postgres', by executing the following command:

−

+

*If you have {{Pkg|sudo}} and your username is in {{ic|sudoers}}:

−

===Configuring PostgreSQL for local use on your own machine===

+

:{{bc|$ sudo -i -u postgres}}

−

−

If you plan to use PostgreSQL and Open ERP on the same machine, you will need to configure PostgreSQL to listen on the localhost's 5432 TCP port. Open {{ic|/var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf}} and navigate to the {{ic|CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION}} section. Uncomment the {{ic|listen_addresses}} and {{ic|port}} lines. Save the file. When complete, the section should appear as follows:

If you need remote access to PostgreSQL over a network, read [[PostgreSQL#Configure PostgreSQL to be accessible from remote hosts]].

−

−

===Setting up PostgreSQL to run with Open ERP===

−

−

Next, it is necessary to create a new PostgreSQL user for Open ERP. In this example, the user is 'yourusername', but you should replace this with your Arch system login username. First, log in as the default PostgreSQL superuser, 'postgres', by executing the following command from the CLI:

−

*If you have {{Pkg|sudo}} set up:

−

$ sudo -i -u postgres

*Otherwise:

*Otherwise:

−

$ su

+

:{{bc|<nowiki>

−

# su - postgres

+

$ su

−

+

# su - postgres

−

Once logged in as postgres, begin the process of creating the 'yourusername' user, with the folowing command:

+

</nowiki>}}

−

−

$ createuser yourusername -P

−

−

You will first be asked for a password. For highly secure yet easy to remember passwords, consider using a [http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html Diceware Passphrase]. Re-enter the password as requested. The next three questions should be answered in sequence with n, y, and n. Shall the new role be a superuser? n Shall the new role be allowed to create database? y Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? n

−

You may also use options as below to skip the interactive questions to set the attributes:

+

If the PostgreSQL instance has not been initialized yet, please follow first the [[PostgreSQL#Installing PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL install process]].

Once logged as the 'postgres' user, create the database user (called ''role'' in the PostgreSQL ) ''odoo'' with the command that follows.

+

* where ''--interactive'' is used to prompt for missing role name and attributes rather than using defaults

+

* and ''--pwprompt''' is used to assign a password to the new role

−

Once you are finished answering these questions, type the word 'exit' to log out from PostgreSQL as the postgres superuser.

You will first be asked for a password. For highly secure yet easy to remember passwords, consider using a [http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html Diceware Passphrase]. Re-enter the password as requested. The next three questions should be answered in sequence with n, y, and n.

−

You may want to enable {{ic|postgresql}} with [[systemd]] so it will start at boot.

+

$ createuser odoo --interactive --pwprompt

+

Enter password for new role:

+

Enter it again:

+

Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n

+

Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y

+

Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n

This completes the installation and setup of PostgreSQL for use with Open ERP under Arch Linux. Additional detailed information about PostgreSQL configuration may be found in the [[PostgreSQL]] article, and the [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/ PostgreSQL Manuals webpage]. Also, there is a powerful GUI PostgreSQL Admin tool, [http://www.pgadmin.org/ pgAdmin], which is available in the Arch repositories.

+

You can also use the following command line to specify the options to skip the interactive questions:

Once you are finished answering these questions, type {{ic|exit}} to return to your regular user.

−

Open ERP requires the installation of the Open ERP Server, Open ERP comes with a webserver so you can use your web browser to use it. Currently, Open ERP is not available in the official repositories, but it is available through the Arch User Repository.

+

This completes the required installation and setup of PostgreSQL for use with Odoo under Arch Linux. Additional detailed information about PostgreSQL configuration can be found in the [[PostgreSQL]] article. By default, PostgreSQL only accepts connections from the local machine. If you plan to run PostgreSQL and Odoo on two different machines, you will need to follow [[PostgreSQL#Configure PostgreSQL to be accessible from remote hosts]].

You can run odoo behind a web server such as [[Apache]] or [[Nginx]] in reverse proxy mode. This is useful for making odoo available in a local network, under a domaine name such as {{ic|odoo.mydomain.local}}. It is also useful to enable caching for static resources, and reduce the load on your odoo application.

= use gunicorn to run openerp in multiple process =

+

For this to work, you need to make sure that your local DNS-server (such as [[BIND]] or [[dnsmasq]]) resolves the domain name you choose to the web server's IP address. If running on your local machine, you could simply add an entry to {{ic|/etc/hosts}} like this:

−

Openerp is now able to utilize multicore-CPUs by gunicorn,for more information on why to use gunicorn, please see [http://v6.openerp.com/node/1106 Serving OpenERP 6.1 on multicore systems with Gunicorn].

Install {{AUR|gunicorn}} from the [[AUR]].

+

=== Using Nginx ===

−

==write a python script ==

+

Refer to [[Nginx#Managing_server_entries|this guide]] for how to create virtual hosts in Nginx.

−

now you need to write a python script to run openerp. below is an example, you can change it for your needs. save it to your home directory and name it {{ic|openerp-wsgi.py}}. for more information see [https://bitbucket.org/nagyv/openerp/src/8e522d566f7d/gunicorn.conf.py?at=master.openerp_serverrc gunicorn.conf.py], note that the config file in {{ic|/etc/openerp/openerp-server.conf}} has no effect to openerp if you use this script to start openerp.

−

import openerp

+

Assuming your local domain is called {{ic|mydomain.local}}, and odoo is hosted on the same machine as your Nginx server, create a file inside the {{ic|servers-available}} directory that contains this server block:

−

# Standard OpenERP XML-RPC port is 8069

−

bind = '127.0.0.1:8069'

−

pidfile = '.gunicorn.pid'

−

# Gunicorn recommends 2-4 x number_of_cpu_cores, but

−

# you'll want to vary this a bit to find the best for your

−

# particular work load.

−

workers = 4

−

# openerp request-response cycle can be quite long for

−

# big reports for example

−

timeout = 240

−

max_requests = 2000

−

# Equivalent of --load command-line option

−

openerp.conf.server_wide_modules = ['web']

−

# internal TODO: use openerp.conf.xxx when available

−

conf = openerp.tools.config

−

# Path to the OpenERP Addons repository (comma-separated for

−

# multiple locations)

−

conf['addons_path'] = '/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openerp/addons'

−

# Optional config

−

#conf['db_name'] = 'mycompany'

−

conf['db_host'] = 'localhost'

−

conf['db_user'] = 'openerp' ##this is username you created in postegres.

−

conf['db_port'] = 5432

−

conf['db_password'] = ''

−

conf['admin_passwd'] = 'admin'

−

conf['db_template'] = 'template1'

−

conf['syslog'] = 'False'

−

for a complete list of configurations in section optional config, you can use command blow to save it to {{ic|~/.openerp_serverrc}}

Odoo (formerly known as OpenERP and before that, TinyERP) is a suite of open-source enterprise management applications. Targeting companies of all sizes, the application suite includes billing, accounting, manufacturing, purchasing, warehouse management, and project management.

Odoo features an application server which uses PostgreSQL as database back-end, with a web-based client. Odoo is written in Python, with a highly modular design which allows rapid development of new modules through Open Object RAD. Odoo developers have a strong commitment to free software.

A thriving support and development community has grown up around Odoo, providing free technical support, bug-fixing, new development, and support services. Odoo provides extensive documentation in various electronic formats, as well as hardcopy. The company responsible for development of Odoo earns profits through partnership services with Odoo consultants, and by providing support, training, hosting services, software development, and software quality testing and verification.

Installation

Installing Odoo

Install the odooAUR package. Please note that the Odoo package comes with a bunch of python2 packages available in the AUR. These dependencies and the size of Odoo require much disk space to be used (1.8Gio only for the source and the final Odoo pkg without its dependencies). If you are building manually in the current directory, please make sure your current directory is on a device with enough free space. If you are using an AUR helper, please increase the size of your tmpfs or configure your AUR helper accordingly.

Configuring PostgreSQL to run with Odoo

Odoo uses PostgreSQL as the database backend. The latter should have been installed with the odoo package as postgresql comes as a dependency.

It is necessary to create a new PostgreSQL user for Odoo. For that log in as the default PostgreSQL superuser, 'postgres', by executing the following command:

Once logged as the 'postgres' user, create the database user (called role in the PostgreSQL ) odoo with the command that follows.

where --interactive is used to prompt for missing role name and attributes rather than using defaults

and --pwprompt' is used to assign a password to the new role

You will first be asked for a password. For highly secure yet easy to remember passwords, consider using a Diceware Passphrase. Re-enter the password as requested. The next three questions should be answered in sequence with n, y, and n.

$ createuser odoo --interactive --pwprompt
Enter password for new role:
Enter it again:
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n

You can also use the following command line to specify the options to skip the interactive questions:

Once you are finished answering these questions, type exit to return to your regular user.

This completes the required installation and setup of PostgreSQL for use with Odoo under Arch Linux. Additional detailed information about PostgreSQL configuration can be found in the PostgreSQL article. By default, PostgreSQL only accepts connections from the local machine. If you plan to run PostgreSQL and Odoo on two different machines, you will need to follow PostgreSQL#Configure PostgreSQL to be accessible from remote hosts.

Configuring Odoo to run with PostgreSQL

The configuration file of Odoo is located at /etc/odoo/odoo.conf. Specify the db_user and db_password according to the username and password you specified at previous step. If the PostgreSQL server is on a different machine, also edit db_host.

Logging in

Running Odoo behind a reverse proxy

You can run odoo behind a web server such as Apache or Nginx in reverse proxy mode. This is useful for making odoo available in a local network, under a domaine name such as odoo.mydomain.local. It is also useful to enable caching for static resources, and reduce the load on your odoo application.

For this to work, you need to make sure that your local DNS-server (such as BIND or dnsmasq) resolves the domain name you choose to the web server's IP address. If running on your local machine, you could simply add an entry to /etc/hosts like this:
